Before sending mail - engage brain. Or at least memory - it sometimes helps.

Now - thunderbird keeps telling me that the site uses a certificate that has expired today.

Yes. True. And - next point - remember that retrieval of mail isn't the job of the SMTP server - but the POP/IMAP server. So - update the courier imaps/pop3s certificates too and hey - look - it all works.

On systems I run, I often symlink the HTTP, IMAP, and SMTP server certificate locations to the same certificate file, for ease of maintenance. Obviously this only works if your machine uses the same hostname for all those services, though.
